Pipe link 130 is hinged to the first rocking bar 128 and is hinged to the second rocking bar 134 around the axis D of the H that parallels to the axis around the axis C of the H that parallels to the axis.Axis C and D are removable with respect to stay bearing plate 114, and axis H and B are fixing with respect to plate 114.The first end 140 of elastic element 138 is removable with respect to stay bearing plate 114, and the second end 142 is fixing with respect to plate 114, and this is correspondingly reflected in respectively on the point of connection of elastic element 138 and the first rocking bar 128 and on the point of connection of elastic element 138 and plate 114.
In addition, barrier element 102 is connected to rigidly the second rocking bar 134 and rotates around axis B with it.In addition, barrier element 102 is free to slide in centering element 116.
In particular with reference to Fig. 4, centering element 116 is essentially C shape and is designed to and element 102,108 collaborative works, thereby limits a kind of clamping zone with geometry-variable 143 with these elements.
Element 116 comprises first surface 144, and two supporting projection 146,148 with curve expansion are outstanding with respect to first surface 144.Each supporting projection is determined to shape to comprise corresponding each stayed surface 150,152 and corresponding each taper shoulder 154,156.A kind of comprise stayed surface 157 and taper shoulder 157 ' similar structures be present on clamping element 108.The latter is preferably hook-type.
Place, opposite end at element 116 is provided with the recess 158,160 with cylindrical wall, exists the recess with tapered wall 161 at supporting projection 146,148 places simultaneously.In addition, with first surface 144 side vis-a-vis on, on outshot 146 sides, be provided with second surface 161a.
Barrier element 102 is parallel to surface 144, between two outshots 146,148.
The recess 158 with cylindrical wall is received pipe link 130.The latter's (seeing Fig. 2) is preferably made by a pair of identical sheet/biscuit linear element.
With reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 5, the second driver element 112 comprises: bar 162, there is the length less than bar 118, and can rotate around axis H, and there is the first forked end 164 and the second forked end 166.
The first forked end 164 is fixed on the second pin 168 of sharing axis H by means of screw 167.Pin 168 is in this way connected to rotatably rigidly bar 162 and extends through whole device 100, and in addition, pin 168 is inserted in the first pin 126 (Fig. 3 A, 3B).Pin 126,168 can rotate independently of one another, because the counterrotating device that stops them is not provided.
Be arranged in the second forked end 166 is can be around the roller 170 of the axis E rotation of the H that parallels to the axis.
The second mechanism 110 comprises: the 3rd rocking bar 172, can and be connected to pin 168 rigidly rotatably around axis H rotation; The second pipe link 174, is hinged to the 3rd rocking bar 172 at its first end 176 places; With the 4th rocking bar 178, can rotate and be hinged to pipe link 174 at the second end 180 places of pipe link 174 around the axis F of the H that parallels to the axis.The second mechanism 110 also comprises: the second elastic element 182, has the second end 186 that is connected to the first end 184 of the 3rd rocking bar 172 and is connected to the 4th rocking bar 178.
More particularly, the 3rd rocking bar 172 and pipe link 174 are hinged with respect to the axis G of the H that parallels to the axis, and the 4th rocking bar 178 and pipe link 174 are hinged with respect to the axis I of the H that also parallels to the axis.In particular with reference to Fig. 5, axis F is fixing with respect to stay bearing plate 114, and axis G and I have the position variable with respect to stay bearing plate 114.In addition, it should be noted, clamping element 108 is fixed on rigidly rocking bar 178, also therefore self can rotates around axis F by means of screw 188.
With reference to Fig. 2, the second mechanism 110 is on the first mechanism 104 tops, and the second mechanism 110 is separated with the first mechanism 104 by means of separator 190 along axis H, then on the second mechanism 110 tops, is covered with again closing panel 192.Closing panel 192 is fitted on pin 168 and is fitted on the pin 193 of sharing axis F, and the 4th rocking bar 178 can rotate and be connected to around axis F the second end 186 of elastic element 182.Another pin 194 is connected to rigidly the 3rd rocking bar 172 and crosses plate 192 in the position corresponding with curved slot 196.The shape of groove 196 makes it possible to realize pin 194 around the motion of axis H.In addition, the 4th rocking bar 178 has along the deploying portion of axis H, thereby it is rested on stay bearing plate 114.Recess 160 is determined to shape is to receive rocking bar 178.In the rotation around axis F, clamping element 108 is supported by pin 193.
In the below operation of tracing device 100.With reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 5, each mechanism 104,110 is removable between stop position (Fig. 3 A, 5A) and control position (Fig. 3 B, 5B).The stop position of each mechanism 104,110 is corresponding to the clip position of two elements 102,108.And the control position separately of mechanism 104,110 is corresponding to the position of opening of element 102,108.Aforementioned stopping and clamping element 102,108 and centering element 116 collaborative works, for the rotation gripping bottle 16 with respect to them and make bottle 16 keep fixing.Therefore, term " open position " and " clip position " are obviously the interactions between finger device 100 and bottle 16.
(Fig. 3 A, 5A) especially, at clip position, clamping element 108 is arranged on outshot 146 sides of centering element 116, thereby make to take on 157 ' and surface 157 substantially form the prolongation of surface 150 and shoulder 154, and simultaneously barrier element 102 between outshot 146 and 148, thereby make tooth 103 at the recess with tapered wall 161 with interior outstanding.With reference to Fig. 7, the antelabium 20 of bottle 16 axially by surface 150,152,157 restriction and radially by shoulder 154,156,157 ' prevent.In addition, the rotation of bottle 16 is stopped by the tooth 103 that is clamping bottleneck.
With reference to Fig. 2,3 and 5, especially, by means of the rotation of each driver element 106,112 of bar 118,162, can drive each mechanism 104,110.When mechanism 104,110 is during in stop position, it is zero that the angle of bar 118,162 is interlocked.Because being connected to another in pin 126 and described bar rigidly rotatably, one of described bar is connected to rotatably rigidly pin 168, so they are controlling the rotation of the first rocking bar 128 and the rotation of the 3rd rocking bar 172.Due to corresponding kinematic chain, after two rocking bars control respectively barrier element 102 and clamping element 108.
With reference to Fig. 3, by applying along the rotation of the direction R shown in Fig. 3 b, obtained the transformation from stop position to control position of the first mechanism 104 on bar 118.In addition, it should be noted, in this diagram, direction R is conter clockwise.The rotation along direction R of bar 118 causes the identical rotation along direction R of the first rocking bar 128 again.This causes the rotation along the direction R ' contrary with direction R of pipe link 130 and the other corresponding rotation along direction R of the second rocking bar 134 then.Meanwhile, because end 140 retreats from end 142, elastic element 138 is set to tensioning state.
The rotation along direction R of rocking bar 134 cause barrier element 102 with respect to the wall 161 at the tapered recess place of centering element 116 along the retraction of radial direction substantially.In this way, tooth 161b does not give prominence to and can not apply at the neck of bottle 16 any action in the recess with tapered wall 161.
Preferably, by selecting lever ratio, to comprising that the kinematic chain of the first rocking bar 128, the second rocking bar 134 and pipe link 130 determines size, so that amplification is applied to the power on the first rocking bar 128 when being delivered to the second rocking bar 134.This aspect is very important, because it can make the value of the rigidity of elastic element 138 keep lower.In fact, elastic element 138 applies the action that makes mechanism 104 return to a kind of elasticity recovery of stop position on rocking bar 128, and correspondingly element 102 is blocked in clip position.Due to the amplification of above-mentioned power, the power of the suitable degree being applied by elastic element 138 is enough to transmit a kind of power largely that contributes to maintain clip position to barrier element 102.
Equally, by applying along the rotation of direction R, obtain the transformation from stop position to control position of the second mechanism 110 on bar 162.In addition, it should be noted, this and to imply never in any form bar 162 identical with the amplitude of 118 rotation.The amplitude of rotation only depends on the form of driving, below will be described this.
The rotation of bar 162 causes the identical rotation along direction R (being shown conter clockwise here) of the 3rd rocking bar 172 again.This causes along direction R ' (here, be expressed as cw) the corresponding rotation of pipe link 174, and finally cause again the 4th rocking bar 178 along the rotation with the inconsistent direction R ' of direction R, this causes that clamping element 108 retreats with respect to the supporting projection 146 of centering element 116 and with respect to the antelabium 20 of bottle 16.
Meanwhile, due to the rotation of the 3rd rocking bar 172 and as for mechanism's 104 what happens, elastic element 182 is because first end 184 retreats and is set in tensioning state from the second end 186.
Camera structure 104 is the same, and mechanism 110 can return to stop position due to the knee springing that elastic element 182 provides.
In addition, kinematic chain between the 3rd rocking bar 172 and the 4th rocking bar 178 is determined to size (especially, select the relative position of axis F, G, H, I), thereby make mechanism 110 be essentially irreversible type, be that mechanism 110 only can drive by means of one or more point-device element of kinematic chain, but not only by any element, just can be driven.
This means: only can driver train 110 (when stop position is got back to by Dang Shi mechanism 110 via bar 162 and/or the 3rd rocking bar 172, obviously by elastic element 182, obtained the driving of being undertaken by rocking bar 172), therefore stoped the possibility driving via clamping element 108, this finally makes to occur the accidental of bottle 16.
Due to pin the 126, the 168th, coaxial and can rotate independently of one another, so the driving of each mechanism 104,110 completely independently and can have four kinds of combinations of the position of aforementioned mechanism, therefore this produce four kinds of operative configuration of holding device 100.
Yet, will clearly find from the following description, among these four kinds of structures, only use three kinds of structures, that is:
-receive structure, wherein in an open position and each corresponding mechanism 104,110 of element 102,108 is in control position;
The structure that stops of-part, wherein mechanism 110 is in stop position and mechanism 104 in control position, so clamping element 108 is in clip position and barrier element 102 is in an open position;
-the structure that stops completely, wherein mechanism 104,110 is in stop position, so element 102,108 is all in clip position.
With reference to Fig. 6, a plurality of holding devices 100 are arranged on the bottle topping machines 200 with carousel structure.Here the bottle topping machines 200 and charging carousel 202 and 204 collaborative works of discharging carousel that schematically show.
Bottle topping machines 200 can rotate around axis X 1 as a whole, and carousel 202,204 can be around each axis X 2, the X3 rotation of parallel to each other and the X1 that parallels to the axis.
Bottle topping machines 200 (Fig. 6 and Fig. 3,5) comprises the first cam 206 and second cam 208 of the driving that is respectively used to the first mechanism 104 and the second mechanism 110.Each cam 206,208 has circular expansion, and comprises each path 210,212 for the slip of roller 125,170.Path 210 has the radius r 210 less than the radius r in path 212 212, but has the angular extensions alpha 210 larger than the angular extensions alpha in path 212 212.Each path 210,212 comprises respectively acclivity 210a, 212a and decline slope 210b, 212b in end vis-a-vis.Their functional characteristic obviously depends on the direction of the rotation of bottle topping machines 200.
Holding device 100 is arranged on bottle topping machines 200 in the position separating according to same angular distance.Holding device 100 can rotate around axis X 1 with bottle topping machines 200, and cam 208,206 is fixing in rotation.
Charging carousel 202 comprises a plurality of clamp assemblies 214, and each clamp assemblies is designed to carry bottle 16.
Discharging carousel 204 comprises: a plurality of recess 216, and each recess is designed to prevent each bottle 16; With plate 218, carrying bottle 16.Discharging carousel 204 can be around axis X 3 rotations of the X1 that parallels to the axis.
Bottle topping machines 200, charging carousel 202 and discharging carousel 204 define the manufacturing line of bottle 16.
During operation, bottle topping machines 200 and carousel 202,204 are around each respective axis X1, X2, X3 rotation.Especially, carousel 202 and 204 utilizes a pair of interactional point of bottle topping machines 200 definition.
Especially, when holding device 100 and clamp assemblies 214 take common location, carousel 202 defines a bottling point L, and at recess 216 and holding device 100, is positioned at the point of common location, and carousel 204 defines equally and unloads a bottle point U.
The operation of the above manufacturing line illustrating is described below.
Bottle topping machines 200 is along direction R1 (being shown conter clockwise here) around axis X 1 rotation.Carousel 202 and 204 is respectively along direction R2 consistent with each other and contrary with direction R1 and R3 rotation.The speed of rotation makes: at each circle, each holding device always has identical absolute spatial position with clamp assemblies 214 and with the point that recess 216 is shared common location, as shown in Figure 6.Therefore, some L and U have fixed position with respect to bottle topping machines 200.
The holding device 100 of consideration along direction R1 around axis X 1 rotation, in the time of in the angular interval of holding device 100 between two slope 212a, 212b, mechanism 104,110 is all in control position, because cam 206,208 is carried out the driving to mechanism 104,110 by apply rotation on bar 118,162.Therefore, barrier element 102 and clamping element 108 are in open position separately.
At bottling position L, bottle 16 arrives holding device 100 from clamp assemblies 214.Antelabium 20 is placed on surface 150,152, and the shoulder 154,156 tilting limits it/prevent in position.
Simultaneously, device 100 positions with respect to cam 206,208 take and position corresponding to slope 212b that decline this device, decline slope 212b is determined to shape to discharge gradually the part to the action of bar 162, make thus clamping element 108 be enclosed in gradually on antelabium 20.
Yet, install 100 not in the position corresponding with decline slope 210b; Therefore, barrier element 102 is still in an open position.
Then proceed along the rotation of direction R1, roller 125 passes across decline slope 210b, cause discharging gradually to the action of bar 118 and cause the corresponding position of closing that moves to barrier element 102, this mobile terminating when device 100 has passed through corresponding end cam 206.
As mentioned above, due to tooth 103, element 102 applies holding action at the neck of bottle 16, prevents that thus bottle 16 is with respect to holding device 100 rotations.
Therefore, in cam 206,208 orders that are close to the downstream part of a L, carry out closing of clamping element 108 and closing of barrier element 102.
Remainder in rotation, therefore bottle is carried and by barrier element 102, is stopped in rotation by the centering element 116 of fixing, and makes it possible at top, to carry out screw thread by device 22 and is screwed into and can have an any possibility that makes screw thread be screwed into the bottle rotation that action lost efficacy.
When approaching due to acclivity 210a, 212a while unloading bottle point U, cam 206,208 orders are carried out opening of barrier element 102 and opening of clamping element 108.
Especially, consider direction R1, first device 100 runs into cam 206 and acclivity 210a, thereby described cam 206 and acclivity 210a control lever 118 cause along the rotation of the bar 118 of direction R and cause opening of barrier element 102, then installing 100 further advances towards unloading bottle point U, device 100 runs into cam 208 and acclivity 212a, and described cam 208 and acclivity 212a cause the driving of bar 162 and correspondingly cause opening of clamping element 108.
In this way, when device 100 is positioned at while unloading bottle point U, discharging carousel 204 can pick up bottle 16 and not have any interference with holding device 100.
The operation of same sequence repeats with periodic interval for each device 100, and can be summarized as follows:
In-region between slope 212a and 212b, each device 100 is positioned at receiving positions;
